That's only on BW boxes. Same on e.g. P6V8.
On all others the kickdown is just that - a kickdown and the blood pressure is done by the gonernor.

I know even less but I think you've explained inadvertently to me why my autobox flares slightly on full throttle on low changes. Works fine at all other times and if you disconnect the vac line you get whiplash in lower changes at full throttle.

I know some said I would need a new passengers side rear fender but my bodywork guy worked wonders with it in 10 minutes yesterday
That was me and seeing the mess the 'bodywork guy' made of it, I repeat:
You.
Need.
A.
New.
One.

I'd be happy with that if I wasn't having an expensive respray.
It's a lot better than quite a few bits on my MGB, which is finally due to go to have its sills replaced in a week.
